Testing new high gain amp sims.

Here are some tests of new high gain amp sims I'm working on. I have completely rework the algorithm. I can't say if it's more accurate or not because I haven't done any comparison with any of the real gear the sims are inspired by. However, I think it feels and responds better than my previous sims. The power amps are definitely more dynamic, accurate and complete.

In the tests I have used Lasse & Mago DI+backing track. The signal I have used is:
DI->Mod TS sim->Amp sim->NadIR loaded with Rosen Digital EVH 5150 III IR.
No post processing.
All the controls at noon except for the treble for the Ecstasy inspired sim, as well as the gain for all sims that has been adjusted to taste.

Don't ask me when these are planed to released, I have no idea. There is still a lot of work to do... and I still don't have replaced my Windows computer.

I use the same DI for my tests ;)Nice to see you still push the limits.I tested almost all plugs ever made, since Simulanalog :DMy fav amps are LE456 and Legion. Even if Amplitube is back with some good high gain amps.Have a nice day ;)

These sound amazing already! Wow! 5150 is so brilliant! Lepou, can you release it as is? I mean, as alpha versions that you could update from time to time, as the work progress goes on? That would be great! Btw, what kind of a screamer pedal you've used here? Couldn't find the info

Guys! I was working on the DI pack last week and finally came up with this one. The tracks are re-amped through TSE 808>Poulin LE456 Amp head simulation. Cabinet Simulation with Mesa Boogie Mark V and Mesa Mark II C impulse responses. Cab Simulation with NadIR.

Let me know your feedback on this track and in fact, this is my first attempt on re-amping. Keep rocking!

Hey I don't mind if you post tracks here but if you want more feedback you should consider posting on forum like Sneap's or GAM, for instance. These are much more crowded places.

Anyway, regarding your track (take these with a grain of salt as I'm listening at work with very cheap headphones). I think you get a solid guitar tone. Did you use the backing track provided with DI ? It seems to have much more reverb to it especially on the snare.

Amazing ,man! I am using Lecto in the recording of my band's first album. Now, i see this, and i can't wait to try these amps. I hope you release it until the end of this year, so i can use these on the album. Thanks for the hard work!!!

Hi. I just discovered thease LePou amp sims and downloaded them to my pc. After 20 mins of testing them out I am totally blown a way so I had to do a test recording of it. I used podfarm's noisegate and classic distortion, then LePou Hybrit, LeCab with redwire impulses. Here u go!

Well I had your plugins and then I restored my comp and didn't back them up so I'm tryna redownload them, I want the lecab v1 and the lecto mainly. But every time (just tried again) I try it brings me to drop box saying there's and error and your account is generating to much traffic. I've tried it on my comp and my phone.

Have you tried LeCabv2, it's probably more stable than LeCabv1 however I never tested it with Audacity. You could get some problem too with all the stack version as they used an old convolved version that was not really stable. Sorry.

They sound amazing :O maybe too similar between them?? Some of the amps I don't like sound too good here because they are more similar to the ones I like :DIt doesn't matter to me, I prefer to have 8 different tones I love than 2 I love and several that are exatly like the original I don't like...

I'm having trouble opening these into my FL Studio 12 Mixer. It says that "something went wrong when opening" any of the plugins from the pack. Do I install them by dropping them into my VST folder or is there another way?

Has anyone tried to program the amp parameters to a midi controller? I've got the knobs set up, but having trouble getting Button1 set for Yellow channel, button2 for blue channel, and button3 for red channel. Does it have to do with the value that each channel is created with?

Although it has become after the fact reporting.I started a Blog of guitar and desktop music recently. I was allowed to introduce the VST that is published in the article. If there is a problem I will delete it. I are happy if you can understand that.http://codeaguitar.blogspot.jp/2015_10_01_archive.html

Man, I want to say something. I have all popular Amp sims. All of them just suck. It's nothing like real amp. Only your plugins have that vibe! BIAS? No way. It is even worse than the most of sims. Ony Lepou! You are not fogotten. You are the best

Alright well here's what we all do- let's all get together and really help with donations to the point to where Mr LePou doesn't have to work another day ever. I'd say these plugins are so precise they're priceless - Viva LePou!

Hey LePou plugins developer,I'm wondering how you did get into amp modelling and these sort of things? I'm making a few basic VST plugins in C (just for learning, nothing comercial, at now just an simple delay and distortion), and was wondering how amps and etc can be modelled.I ended up searching a lot and found lots of different ways, ranging from dozens of FIRs and lookup tables to some other circuit-simulation techniques and waveshapers, but documentation is somewhat scarce.This type of thing interests me a lot, maybe you can sort of help me on where to find documentation on that?Thanks.

Hi Alain! I guess if you had any major progress on this topic, you would've made a blog post about it, still I dare ask: any news regarding these new sims? They sound amazing and I'm dying to try them out :) especially for my audio engineering final project.

My friend, these new amp sims sound better than anything that is not a real amp that I have ever heard! I appreciate all your hard work into creating these and sharing them. When you release these new amp sims, I will be one ecstatic dude!

Out of the samples in this playlist, I think Slo100 sounds the best, although it's certainly a tight comparison and the rest are right up there as well. To me Slo100 just seems to strike a balance. It doesn't stand out as particularly noisy, bright, dim, fizzy or anything. It also handles different intervals gracefully and manages to stay crisp and clear during the polyphonic parts. I'd imagine it would sit well in symphonic, prog and other genres with tons of other elements in the mix.

Oh, give LePou a break. You want the best ampsims ever? Yes? Then you must understand you'll have to wait for them. Yes, suck it up and wait. As long as it takes. Period. Man, ppl are just so impatient these days WTF? Grow up

I really appreciate the quality of your sims! I recently went back to using Hybrit and Lecto over other sims and I was blown away by how much better your stuff sounded than I remembered it! Can't wait for the 5150, new recto and Slo!

Hello, Alain! How's it going? I know my question may have been asked a million times before, but I am a stubborn one, and please pardon me this, so when can we expect the new sims to be released? Even a distantly supposed date in your reply would do well, I think. Many THANX for taking your time. I appreciate your work, my friend. Have a nice day!

I still don't know yet. I'm testing JUCE at the moment in order to incease portability (AAX and Linux for instance). And the learning curve is a bit steeper than expected. I don't wanna created expectation so I'm not gonna give you a date... sorry!

Hi Alain, wow I love your amp sims, would be great to have a Mesa Mark IV with the EQ amp sim, don't know if you are planning to do it but would be great, also a modded JCM800 type amp too, like a Friedman!
